More Than a Century
of Wristwatches...and Still Ticking...
Wristwatches have been around for a little
over a century. They have evolved into many styles, shapes, sizes and
features. Prices range from a few dollars to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. Some people are now saying that the high-tech revolution, which
includes a clock on nearly every modern-day device, could lead to the
end of the wristwatch as our typical "teller of time," and cause the
wristwatch to go out of style (similar to what happened to pocket
watches many decades ago.)
- I am in the process of writing a
detailed article that will explore the evolution of the wristwatch,
and will look at its social and technical use in today's world. Look
for this article to be be posted on this page very soon.
